Catalytic Asymmetric Diamination of Styrenes Kilian Muñiz,*1,2 Laura Barreiro,1† R. Martín Romero,1† and Claudio Martínez1 1

Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia (ICIQ), The Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology, 16 Avgda. Països Catalans, 43007 Tarragona, Spain. 2 ICREA, Pg. Lluís Companys 23, 08010 Barcelona, Spain Supporting Information Placeholder ABSTRACT: An enantioselective catalytic vicinal di-

amination of styrenes is reported, which proceeds under entirely intermolecular reaction control. It relies on a chirally modified aryliodine(I) catalyst and proceeds within an iodine(I/III) manifold with conventional 3chloroperbenzoic acid as terminal oxidant. An environmentally benign solvent combination not only adds to the attractiveness of the process, but also slows down the rate of the undesired background reaction. A total of 30 examples are presented, which consistently provide high enantiomeric excesses in the range of 91-98%.

Vicinal diamines represent a family of compounds of high importance in diverse fields of the biomedicinal and pharmaceutical sciences.1 While the direct vicinal diamination of alkenes has been recognized as a convenient approach toward their synthesis,2 its challenge rests with the native ability of diamines to function as effective bidentate ligands to conventional transition metal promoters. As an illustrative example, while the Sharpless dihydroxylation3 and aminohydroxylation4 can be conducted in a catalytic fashion, the related diamination suffers from strong binding affinity of the diamine product to the osmium atom, thus rendering the process noncatalytic in metal.4 Catalytic diamination of alkenes has thus remained largely limited to reactions involving intramolecular amination steps,2c,6 and enantioselective diamination with palladium,7 copper8 and titanium9 catalysts currently requires at least one of the C-N bonds to be formed in an intramolecular reaction.10 An alternative approach11 uses homogeneous iodine based redox catalysis,12 which represents an attractive concept.13 In this area, enantioselective catalytic transformations that replace existing stoichiometric intermolecular reactions have so far remained elusive.14 We considered chiral catalysis within the aryliodine(I/III) manifold to broaden the spectrum of catalytic enantioselective diamination reactions to intermolecular reaction control. Redoxactive chiral aryl iodine derivatives of type 1 with modification of the chiral pool-derived lactic side chains

(Figure 1)15 have emerged as privileged structures. The preformed diacetoxy aryliodine(III) reagent of compound 1a had been employed in an enantioselective diamination of styrenes.16 We here report the first successful iodine(I/III)-catalyzed enantioselective intermolecular diamination.

The reaction was optimized exploring various iodine catalysts 1a-e and oxidants.17 This extensive screening identified compounds 1d and 1e as the only candidates displaying reasonable activity, while mCPBA emerged as the only suitable stoichiometric oxidant.17 Final optimization with 1e was carried out with 4-fluorostyrene 2a as substrate, which allowed for an accurate determina-

tion of the relative ratio between the diamination product 3a and undesired epoxidation by 19F NMR analysis. The initially high epoxidation percentage could be reduced changing the solvent to tert-butyl methyl ether or tertbutyl methyl ether/hexafluoro-2-propanol18 mixtures and subsequent lowering of the reaction temperature (Figure 1). mCPBA is a common oxidant in intramolecular iodine(I/III) catalysis,12b,19 but had only recently14b,d been employed in the corresponding intermolecular alkene functionalization due to its innate high reactivity. Given its particularly high reactivity in the epoxidation of styrene, the use of mCPBA appeared challenging at first sight. However, the subsequent exploration provided two important insights. First, this oxidant can be combined with non-chlorinated solvents, which renders the process more benign and attractive. Second, the undesired epoxidation background reaction was found to be kinetically incompetent in the tBuOMe/HFIP solvent combination. Figure 1 displays the initial kinetic profile for the catalytic diamination of 4-fluorostyrene, which demonstrates epoxidation (and derivatization to aminooxygenation) to be comparably slow processes.20 Hence, 4-fluorostyrene derived diamine 3a was formed in 68% isolated yield and with high 95% enantiomeric excess, while the epoxidation pathway accounted for less than 5% product. These reaction conditions provide the desired entry into catalytic diamination of alkenes under entirely intermolecular reaction control. The final conditions are also noteworthy for including a solvent combination outside the usual chlorinated derivatives. The optimized catalyst system exercises generally high enantioselective control in favor of (S)configured diamines 3 as explored for 22 styrenes comprising different substitution patterns at the arene core, which include 2-, 3-, 4- and higher-substituted derivatives and common functional groups from organic chemistry (Scheme 1). The observed efficient face selection is unprecedented in the intermolecular difunctionalization with iodine(III) catalysts. The reactions are usually performed best with 20 mol% catalyst and result in 40-87% isolated yield and consistently high inductions of 9198% ee. To demonstrate the efficiency of the catalyst, experiments with 10 mol% catalyst loading were explored, which for products 3d and 3p provided 70-71% yield (equivalent to 7 TON) and 96% ee. In addition, the catalysis with 15N labeled bismesylimide provided chiral diamination product 3c’ in isotopically pure form. Previous approaches to mono-labeled diamines required multistep syntheses.21 The enantiomeric catalyst ent-1e was synthesized from non-natural lactic acid in order to provide an entry into the enantiomeric series of (R)configured diamines as exemplified for product ent-3j. Finally, a vinylated estrone derivative was employed to demonstrate complete catalyst control under the chosen reaction conditions. Depending on the catalyst configuration, diamines 3w and 3x were obtained each with high 10:1-diastereomeric ratio establishing that in this

case the asymmetric induction is independent of the chiral information on the steroid backbone.

Scheme 1. Enantioselective Vicinal Diamination of Styrenes: Scope. a With 15N-labeled bismesylimide. b With 10 mol% 1e. c With ent-1e as catalyst. The obtained enantioselectivities from catalysis are significantly higher than the ones from the previous stoichiometric reactions with the preformed diacetoxy reagent from 1a.16a The substrate scope can be enhanced further to include traditionally challenging internal alkenes 4a-e (Scheme 2). For an efficient reaction outcome, the conditions required slight modification17 for the diaminations to proceed again with excellent enantiomeric excesses of 93-98% including substrate 4e with a longer alkyl chain and provide diastereomerically pure products with absolute (2S,3R)-stereochemistry. Therefore, an identical face-selection is obviously involved in the diamination of terminal and internal alkenes as judged from the absolute configuration at the benzylic stereocenter. This was further corroborated by the expected outcome with deuterated derivative 2b-d1, which provided the selectively deuterated product 3b-d1 in 94% ee within a clean stereochemistry transfer of the double bond geometry into the corresponding diastereomeric product composition demonstrating that the overall process is comparable to the one from internal alkenes.

ecule, which engages in double hydrogen bonding (Scheme 3). The resulting 11-membered ring is reminiscent of the chiral helicity induced in the iodine(III) derivatives of 1c and of the same absolute configuration, but with a significantly enlarged binding pocket for bissulfonimide accommodation,17 while the structure of 1d does not reveal any related supramolecular bonding. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding in 6d promoted by a water molecule can provide a useful explanation for the present high enantioselectivity. Since the terminal oxidant mCPBA contains water, the latter is ubiquitously present in the reaction medium throughout catalysis.

Scheme 2. Enantioselective Vicinal Diamination of Internal Styrenes: Scope. a With 5 equiv of HNMs2. At this point, the exact mode of stereoinduction with the new catalysts 1d and 1e remained to be examined. While we had previously identified the formation of a helical chiral environment around the central iodine(III) through intramolecular hydrogen bonding as the decisive motif in catalysts of type 1b and 1c,22 such a supramolecular arrangement is not immediately available for the secondary amides 1d and 1e. In addition, the crystal structure analyses from compounds 1d and 1e, which correspond to the iodine(I) catalyst states, do not suggest any conformational pre-organization (Figure 1).

The corresponding iodine(III) compound 6d could be obtained from oxidation of 1d.17 Single crystal X-ray structural analysis revealed the presence of a water mol-

Figure 2. Mechanistic Context for the Enantioselective Catalytic Diamination of Styrenes.

Interestingly, compound 6d also provides enantioselective diacetoxylation of styrene under both stoichiometric and catalytic reaction control. Upon addition of preformed 6d to a solution of styrene in the presence of 2.4 equivalents of bismesylimide, the reaction switches selectively into the diamination pathway. Under standard conditions, 1d provides diamination product with an identical absolute (S)-configuration. These observations suggest that the two vicinal difunctionalization reactions proceed through identical enantiotopic differentiation of the prochiral alkene of the styrene substrate. Based on our previous mechanistic insight and on the reported control experiments we suggest the following mechanism for the catalytic cycle (Figure 2). It starts with an oxidation that converts catalyst precursor 1e to the key catalyst structure, which is in perfect agreement with an earlier observation that bissulfonimides readily enter the iodine(III) center.23 The helical chirality induced in iodine(III) compounds bearing the bislactamide motif provides a scenario B for efficient differentiation of the enantiotopic faces of the styrene substrate. It thereby provides a diastereomerically highly enriched aminoiodinated catalyst state C. The high oxidation state nature of iodine in C initiates the reductive displacement of this

nucleophuge24 and thereby regenerates the iodine(I) catalyst state 1e. In agreement with the overall stereochemistry of the products 5, an intramolecular displacement by the bissulfonimide is required.25 The second CN bond formation takes place through nucleophilic opening of cyclic intermediate D16b to diamines 3 and 5, respectively, which represents the hitherto unknown Prevost mechanism26 in diamine formation. It generates products with the opposite diastereomeric composition as observed in the iodine(I/III)-catalyzed enantioselective diacetoxylation reactions,27 which proceed through the dioxolonium intermediate of the Woodward mechanism.28 In summary, the development of an iodine(I/III)catalyzed enantioselective diamination of styrenes under intermolecular reaction control has been accomplished for the first time. This protocol acts as an asymmetric gateway to the important class of vicinal diamines29 and thus facilitates access to entities with particular importance in pharmacophoric and medicinal research. It can be foreseen that this approach of chiral aryliodine catalyst will be an instrumental guide for the development of related transformations. ASSOCIATED CONTENT

This kinetic preference for the enantioselective catalytic pathway over the undesired stoichiometric one is of particular importance. From the investigation of a related achiral iodine-catalysed aziridination reaction, it had been called into question whether such an acceleration in order to overcome the peracid-promoted background reaction could be realised at all: Richardson, R.
